    Haven't eaten here in a while and I recently enjoyed lunch, yes with my dog. We ordered and ate outside at the tables. Lobster was so juicy and sweet. Yes I shared some with my fur baby too.

    Delicious lobster roll with a great ratio of bread to meat. For context, my boyfriend had never had a lobster roll he liked until this one and I'm so happy he did! I was happy as a clam with it. We also got the lobster bisque - of the 3 lobster bisques we had in the area, we ranked it 2/3 (all were good). It was very tasty with a high sherry flavor. Overall the lobster roll is a must, but a better lobster bisque is at the Lobster House. Friendly, prompt service and the seating is all outdoor.

    Really good lobster roll place in Cape May! It seems like it's been around for a long time. The lobster tasted fresh and they give you a lot of it on the lobster roll. It definitely hits the spot if you're in the mood for a lobster roll!

    classic lobster roll and fries
    Michelle C.

    this was our first time trying a lobster roll and it did not disappoint! we ordered the classic roll which is served cold. it was small in size but very delicious. the fries came out piping hot, so they were definitely fresh! the pickles and lemon were a nice touch to add some acidity and freshness. service was good, nothing to complain about. there wasn't a line when we got there but it took about 20 minutes for our food to come out. the roll was about $20 and the fries were $6. there is no indoor seating and it is located in a little plaza with other food shops. whether or not you get a table just depends on how busy it is that day. we managed to get one right out front and we were not bothered by any seagulls!

    Great lobster rolls at a decent price! No frills ambiance right in the beach. Tried both hot and cold with a slight preference for cold. Give them a try.

    I completely understand why the line for Quincy's is out of the door when you're passing by. The los get rolls are stacked, flavorful, and delicious. The price also can't be beat. If you're in the area, definitely stop by to try one of their many roll options that comes with the perfect plain bag of lays chips. I promise you won't be disappointed !

    shrimp roll

    Went here for lunch with my family and was excited to try the place out. As soon as we walked in, we said hello how are you with a smile and were returned with a straight face of the cashier who just looked at us and ignored us. We asked questions about what is good to eat and we were ignored while being dully stared 99% of the time. Started off with poor service to say the least. It was a simple space, just for ordering on the go. The food was very disappointing and was nothing special. I ordered the shrimp roll and there was plastic left on top of my roll. Out of 5 people, not a single one of us really enjoyed our food or would return back for more. The food looked nice and the colors presented it well but it also was not worth the price. $18 for a lobster roll thats not good and a $11 shrimp roll that wasn't anything special. The food was not filling, small portions. While it's location is convenient and near the beach, I would take the extra 5 minutes to reach a different spot with better food nearby.

    My family and I loved this place! Such delicious and abundant lobster rolls. Served with chips and pickles. Delish! Also got the crab salad which was delicious and fresh as well.

    Ohh, ohh, ohh how I wanted to love this place. It got great reviews.... but the lobster rolls were TINY ... I even ordered the 50% More for $6 more.... so I expected a couple of good bites. Maybe it was the fact that it cost so much that I was not satisfied. It's in the main busy area on Washington Mall. The outdoor seating wasn't bad. The order taker was very nice.

    Shrimp Roll and clam chowder
    K C.

    Absolutely loved the good! Very quick and easy pickup. The shrimp roll and clam chowder were delicious!!

    Crab roll
    Kaitlin F.

    Chains can always be hit or miss, but this one is a hit. We ordered the crab roll, and the price could not be beat. The crab meat tasted very fresh, and there was a generous amount of it. As far as service and ambiance, the employee who served us was very friendly, and the location is perfectly situated near all of the shops, which makes for an easy grab and go between stores.

    Lobster roll

    1000% recommend. Everything about the lobster roll was perfection. The buttery roll and lump jumbo lobster pieces were the perfect combination. Service was quick and the outdoor seating was quaint.

    I wasn't planning on reviews while on my vacation, but Hubs asked for this one. While there are…read moreseveral places in Cape May to get a Lobster Roll, we chose Cape May Fish Market because it had lots of seating indoors & out. It was quite chilly while we visited Cape May so we really wanted to sit inside. First, the positive: The place is clean and the staff is nice. The Lobster Roll is delicious and the Shrimp Cesar Salad tasted good, but this is also where it goes bad. It is a huge salad and only had 3 shrimp. The cost of the salad is the same as the Lobster Roll. There is no way a salad should cost 26.99 and only have 3 shrimp. A pound of shrimp market value is approximately $25.99 depending on size & location. When it was expressed to our server, she quoted market price increases and that we could order more shrimp at an upcharge. If market price for shrimp is that bad, take it off the menu or offer alternatives like adding chicken that won't result in an upcharge or advise your customers upon ordering that they'd only get 3 shrimp. Hubs probably would have ordered something else. It's Cape May Fish Market so they should be upfront about their seafood. I didn't really care for the fact that we asked about it and were brushed off. While we'll definitely return to Cape May, we may not return here. .

I also ordered a bottle of their house wine, and it was excellent. It was served nicely chilled with just the right amount of sweetness, making it the perfect pairing for my meal. The flavors complemented the gnocchi beautifully and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The sauce was fresh, light, and earthy, and I loved the addition of the pine nuts, which added a subtle crunch. I'm usually not a fan of mixing different textures in a dish, but everything came together so well that it completely changed my mind. The shrimp were cooked perfectly--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My daughter ordered the seafood pasta, and she loved it as well. The seafood was fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors blended together wonderfully. We both left our plates nearly empty because everything was just that good. We were seated outside, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The weather was beautiful, there was a nice breeze, and it made for such a relaxing dining experience. To top it all off, the woman who took our order was absolutely wonderful. She was funny, energetic, and incredibly kind, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The seafood risotto was great as usual, as was the pescatore special and the scallop risotto appetizer (had for an entrée). The scallops Sambuca special was OK but the sauce was too sweet for me.

The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring Cape May. I'm glad I formed my own opinion instead of relying on the reviews. I'd definitely come back. Side note: I went for dinner. Not much options open late. They had a live band. I sat outside where it was quieter and just street life noise. Very calm. Very appreciated.

We enjoyed our lunch orders (Thai egg rolls and a salad topped with salmon immensely - much more than anticipated for a weekday lunch at an unheralded restaurant (which clearly is mainly, a bar). Prices, a bit regrettably, are scaled for Cape May in tourist season. While we enjoyed our lunch, dropping over $50 for our lunches plus two soft drinks was a bit more than anticipated. Still, Fins deserves more business than it appears to get. Hopefully in season it attracts it.

My fellow reviewers mentioning the tasteless cabbage and brown rice sides are depressingly accurate. Even the scallops didn't taste like much. I was truly shocked they had the audacity to charge $36 for their plates. Additionally, we were packed in there like sardines, basically touching elbows with the customers next to us. Not sure why anyone would enjoy this sort of cramped and loud atmosphere. I have nothing bad to say about the service, but if I'm paying such a premium for a meal that I could've prepared much better (even as a complete amateur), that's not going to move the needle into "could've been better" territory. It was just insultingly bad for the price. They are clearly just coasting off of their reputation as a local staple. We had a drink at the corner bar nearby beforehand and I caught a glimpse at some of their food. Wish we had just stayed and had our meal there. Just because you label yourself "farm to table" doesn't mean you can get away with your food tasting like fodder.

The beer selection is always impressive, with plenty of options to satisfy just about every taste. Service can be hit or miss depending on when you visit and who's working, but that's often the case at busy shore destinations. My family stops here on almost every trip to our home on the Cape May Bay, so we've experienced it at its best and busiest. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a popular shore restaurant. And yes, if you know about the bathroom situation, you know--it really deserves a permanent fix rather than another temporary patch. The menu offers something for everyone. The pizzas are consistently good, the bar food delivers exactly what you'd expect, and there are several signature dishes that are always reliable and full of flavor. When the restaurant gets crowded, you'll definitely notice it in both the service and the overall vibe, but that's just part of the shore experience. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try.

Everything was simply perfect, including Vicki, our veteran and down to earth waiter. When we are unsure of things, she provided expert guidance with kindness and wisdom. The mussels appetizer are an experience not to be missed - save the bread for lapping up its saucy juice. My wife loved the pork chop - its huge and she took half home for lunch.

We were seated immediately by our server Flossy who also had very good recommendations on what to order. I followed those recommendations and got the Crab Cakes and the Key Lime Pie Cheesecake. My friend ordered the Seafood Pesto. I loved the Crab Cakes, it went well with the mango sauce and it was a very lump meat crab cake. Might be one of the best crab cakes I've ever had. The key lime cheesecake was very fluffy, airy, with the perfect balance of sweet and citrus. The seafood pesto was just OK in my opinion. I did like the food for the most part. However, the portions are a little on the small side. If it weren't for dessert and Flossy giving me a second dinner roll (another point for service!) I think I would've left still hungry. To be fair, I am considered a big eater and I came in starving. There were a few other questionable choices that prevent me from fully recommending this place. Some may consider the dining room cozy, I found it cramped, especially as it started to fill up with other customers. So this place is likely not going to work with a big party even if it's half full. We were a little surprised when trying to find the restroom too. We were handed a key, and had to go outside and in their back alley on a little treasure hunt to find a door labeled "Locked door". When ordering dessert, I was surprised the dessert menu did not list any prices even though their main menu did. Kind of obnoxious and pretentious if you ask me, but Flossy mentioned they were all $18 and big enough to share. That brings me one other point: pricing. I loved the food, but felt each menu item was twice the price that was appropriate for the portion. All in all, Freda's cafe has good food and great service. But it's held back by portion sizes, pricing, and a few other weird issues.
